Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants, which acts either as the metal component of enzymes or a functional structural regulatory co-factor large number enzymes. To understand possible benefits applying nanotechnology to agriculture, first step should be analyze penetration and transport nano-particles in plants. The present study was conducted test hypothesis that copper nanoparticle would enter into plant cell govern growth maize plant.A solution culture experiment...
In the current literature, impact of nano-particles (NPs) on growth higher plants has scantly been reported. An investigation was carried out to study effect zinc oxide (<100 nm) maize (Zea mays L.) plant, as one major agricultural crops, in a solution culture system. Various concentrations (Zn) were applied through nano-zinc (ZnO) particles suspension form and ionic sulfate (ZnSO4) salt Hoagland culture. Experimental results showed that nano could enhance maintain plant well conventional Zn...
In India, zinc (Zn) has been recognized as the fourth most important yield-limiting nutrient after nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Supplementing requirement of agricultural crops through water soluble sulfate ZnSO4 fertilizer is a costly management option whereas, utilization ZnO (water insoluble cheaper material) source Zn could be an alternative cost effective to encourage farmers for wider adoption. this present investigation, in order supply requisite amount plants,...
Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production systems are a major area of concern in mitigating climate change. Therefore, study was conducted to investigate the effects crop residue, nutrient management, and soil moisture on methane (CH4) maize, rice, soybean, wheat systems. In this study, incubation experiments were with four residue types (maize, wheat), seven management treatments {N0P0K0 (no nutrients), N0PK, N100PK, N150PK, N100PK + manure@ 5 Mg ha−1, biochar@ N150PK+ ha−1},...
The phytotoxicity due to nickel (Ni) and its accumulation in castor (Ricinus communis L.) plant of Euphorbiaceae family resulting from addition low very high levels a swell-shrink clayey soil (Haplustert) was studied pot culture experiment. Nine Ni (0, 10, 40, 80, 120, 160, 180, 200, 250 mg kg(-1) soil) were applied. Crop harvested at 45 days after sowing. At the higher levels, beyond 200 soil, reduced growth symptom recorded. concentration parts increased with increasing dose applied Ni....
ABSTRACT To better understand the mechanisms responsible for differences in uptake and distribution of cadmium (Cd), nutrient-solution experiments were conducted with different varieties rice (Oryza sativa), 'Khitish' 'CNRH3'. The plants grown a complete nutrient solution levels pCd (-log free Cd+2 activity) pFe [-log iron (Fe+2) activity]. required concentrations chelating agent metals determined using computerized chemical equilibrium model such as Geochem-PC. Experimental treatments...
Abstract Speciation study of microelements in soils is useful to assess their retention and release by the soil plant. Laboratory greenhouse investigations were conducted for five different agro‐ecological zones (viz., Bhuna, Delhi, Cooch‐Behar, Gurgaon, Pabra) with diverse physicochemical properties distribution zinc (Zn) among fractions respect availability Zn species uptake rice A sequential extraction procedure was used that fractionated total into water‐soluble (WS), exchangeable (EX),...
Copper, the essential element required for human body is well-known its profound antibacterial properties, yet salts and oxides of copper metals in mine tailings are reported to be a big burden modern era. Among other oxides, CuO, particular, known have beneficial effects on humans, while slight nanoengineering viz., surface functionalization nanometer-sized oxide shown make some paradigm shift using inherent redox property. Here, we synthesized CuO nanoparticles functionalized it with...
Developing successful mitigation strategies for greenhouse gases (GHGs) from crop residue returned to the soil can be difficult due an incomplete understanding of factors controlling their magnitude and direction. Therefore, this study investigates effects varying levels wheat (WR) nutrient management on GHGs emissions (CO 2 , N O, CH 4 ) across three types: Alfisol, Vertisol, Inceptisol. A combination laboratory-based measurements a variety data analysis techniques was used assess GHG...
Abstract Several anthropogenic activities lead to the production of substantial amounts aqueous effluents that contain various toxic trace and heavy metals which pose potential threats wild habitat wetlands. As a part remediation metals, it is necessary identify some aquatic hyperaccumulator plants. To this end, greenhouse study was conducted investigate phytotoxicity resulting from (Pb) its accumulation in selected plant species. Lead added low very high levels swell–shrink clayey soil...
The alternative method of solution by image charges is presented to the electrostatic problem finding mutual capacitance between two metal eccentrical spheres. Numerical results and graphs for calculation equal spheres are a number relative sphere sizes separations.
Nanoscale science and nanotechnology are expected to bring about revolutionary advances in the agrochemical industry. Smart delivery of micronutrients enabling sustained release is one such innovative approach combat poor nutrient uptake efficiency conventional micronutrient sources. Herein, we report a bottom-up surface fabrication strategy modify nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) surfaces at an atomic scale for Zn micronutrients. A large sized environmentally relevant macromolecule humic acid...
